The popular LA-based reality show Selling Sunset will return to Netflix on May 19. The sixth season will see our favourite real estate agents return to The Oppenheim Group’s offices, bringing with it plenty of drama.

Fans are desperately awaiting the drop of the new season after Netflix released the full trailer that featured not one, but two new real estate agents joining the team. The trailer also hinted that Chrishell Stause’s relationship with G Glip will be a focus too.

One of the new girls is Bre, who is mother to one of Nick Cannon’s children. She can be seen in the trailer dramatically strutting while her own voice-over says: "I’m kind of a mirror. Whatever you give me is what you’re gonna get. I mean business. I’m about my business. I’m here to ****– this ****up."

Bre will be joined by her fellow newcomer Nicole Smith, who can be heard saying: "100 million dollars in sales and counting? If someone were to get in the way of that, there’s going to be an issue."

With two new additions joining the Oppenheim Group team, many will be wondering whether or not the cast members featured on the reality show are actually certified estate agents. Don’t worry we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know including whether or not the Oppenheim Group is even a real business.

Is the Oppenheim Group real?

The brokerage that is at the centre of Selling Sunset is The Oppenheim Group, which is very much a real agency. However, the business dealings are not featured in the show. According to the company’s website, The Oppenheim Group is a family business that was originally founded in 1889 and known as The Stern Group.

The company was founded by Jason and Brett Oppenheim’s great-great grandfather Jacon Stern whose clients included the founders of Paramount Pictures. The business has been passed down five generations to Jason and Brett who feature heavily in Selling Sunset.

Where is The Oppenheim Group based?

The Oppenheim Group is located on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California.

Chrishell Stause, Davina Potratz, Heather Rae El Moussa, Mary Fitzgerald, Amanza Smith, Emma Hernan, and Chelsea Lazkani are all officially employed by The Oppenheim Group.

Former Selling Sunset cast member Christine Quinn departed from the show last year. Following her time on Selling Sunset, Christine has started her own real estate group called RealOpen alongside husband Christan Dumontet.
